Yes :) It was not designed to be a universal GUI module, it was designed with an application like Freevo in mind. > One thing I thought was odd is that the grid has its own > animation.

It could be enhanced to read that from the XML file as well, but my first task was to make it work in the first place :) It has its own animation because you can also animate the grid itself moving it around without conflicts with the internal animations. But the internal animations could get some additional paramater in the future like bounce or to set the alpha function for clutter.
